This is no ordinary room in a house. Apart from your bright (small) private single room + organic tea and locally roasted coffee, you also have full access to the cosiest of cosy shared Hearth of the house and use of kitchen*
With the utmost attention to detail, as one guest described it; "everything here is art" this is a truly unique stay. As many guests mention, it's one of the best airbnb's they've stayed in.
Furthermore, there is a beautiful and wild shared back garden with stunning views down the valley and all the way to Galway Bay and the Connemara mountains on a clear day.
The 1 acre of land that belongs to Hanne's Cottage is an ever unfolding ARK = Act of Restorative Kindness towards the Earth and is cared for as a wildlife sanctuary.
A car is essential as Hanne's Cottage is in a rural valley in the Burren mountains, with a 5km stretch of narrow backroad leading down to it and no public transport available.
Hanne's Cottage is part of Community Neighbour Watch.
*please read additional houserules for use of kitchen.
P.S. Hanne's Cottage is Hanne's home; it will be kept tidy and high standard of clean. It's a fully lived in home with a long-haired Boss host cat flaunting her floof, which inevitably will cause the occasional cat hair. If the latter is an issue, this peaceful and beautiful sanctuary for humans and animals alike might not be for you.
P.P.S. Hanne may be able to accommodate you for only 1 night if the need is there, please inquire. Note this will come with an additional fee separate to your airbnb booking fee. Please see under "Other details to note"

Other things to note
NOTE: Saturday check-in after 18.00!
PLEASE BE AWARE; ADDITIONAL FEE FOR 1 NIGHT STAYS!
Dear guest, I wish to accommodate guests wanting only 1 night stays, instead of setting the limit to minimum 2 nights, as most hosts do. However, to give this option adds a significant amount of extra cleaning, laundry, time and costs, as it's not just a room, but all shared spaces. Therefore there will be an additional charge of €50 for 1 night bookings.
Please confirm in your booking request that you have read and agreed to this.
I highly recommend minimum 2 nights. Most guests regret they only stayed for 1!
